PAGE TWO THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Tuesday, Jnn. 9, 1DJM Rockne System Vindicated Notr Dam Style of Football Still Win ning Game All Over the Country, Du queine, Holy Crou, f ' Detroit Have Excel- lent Record. Gene Tunney D u b i o u Over Mas Baer'a Fu ture. The collapse ot the Notre Dame football team last sea- -son subjected -the Knute Rockne coaching system to great deal of criticism which the record! do not warrant. Bleacher coaches throughout the country consigned the Notre Dame coaching system to the ash heap, declaring football had outgrown methods Rockne used to build up South Rend to national pre-eminence. Hoartley (Hunk) Anderson's team at Notre Dame last year suffered the worst reverse In Its modern football rtcord, winning but three games while losing fire and tying one. The team won only from Indiana, Northwestern and Army. To condemn the system ot play because of one poor sea son Isn't sound logic. While thtt "mMhop" .1,.nl nft a Ins. lng a majority of her games, other teams, with but few ex ceptions, . coached . by former Notre Dame players, were win ning a majority ot their games. Of 17 major college football teams coached by men trained by Rockne, only three lost more games than they won. These were Notre Dame, Mis souri, and North Carolina. Teams coached by Notre Dame players won 100 games while losing 64. Of the 64 lost, 16 were to other teams coached by former Notre Dame players. That doesn't leave much room for argument the system has failed. Elmer Layden, who succeeds Anderson as Notre Dame coach, had an especially successful season at Duqueane, losing only to Pittsburgh in ten games. Detroit under Gus Dorlas won even games and lost only to Duquesne. Harry Stuhldreher, one ot the famous four horsemen at Notre Dame, won aeven games, lost two and tied one at Villa nova, At St. Mary's Slip Mad lgan's team won five of its nine games, being tied by Santa Clara. .- Santa Clara, coached by Man rice (Clipper) Smith, won three, lost two and tied one. Frank Thomas' team at Ala bama won seven games and lost only to Fordham, coached by Jim Crowley. Fordham won slnx out ot eight games. - Charley Bachman, in his first vm at Mlphlvan BtfltA won four, tied one and lost two. Boly Cross, coached by Eddie Anderson, won seven ont of nine games. It wr- Anderson's first year at Holy Cross. 1 Gene Tunney. former cham pion heavyweight of the world and still an exponent of every thing serious and straight for ward in the boxing profession, shakes his head sadly in con sideration of Max Baer. Gene believes Max one of the out standing fighters of the day, but the following statement in San Francisco rather describes Tunney's estimation ot the challenger: '- "Being a great actor may Influence him to become a bad fighter. "If Maxie fights Max Schmel lng again I won't be In any hurry to pick Baer to win be cause of the psychological ele ments and also the physi ological elementsentering the contest, "Baer will be handicapped by the fact that he doesn't have to fight, but can turn to acting for a good livelihood. "Baer's physical condition will be in doubt until he starts training. I still believe that a tighter can't stay up until four o'clock in the morning in night clubs and still be a good fight er. He must school himself to a rigid life. He must go to bed early and rise early. He mustn't have an easy, carefree existence. And that's the weak ness that Baer is facing now." Benny Friedman Becomes Coach NEW YORK, Jan. 9. U.R Benny Friedman, former Mich igan all-American quarterback and professional football player, Is slated to become head football coach at the College of the City of New York on February 1, ac cording to reliable reports today.

BOXING E GUI FRIDAY Pelicans. Prepare to Meet Winning Outfit From Bend. Monday nlfrht the Klamath Policans, undefeated In luter- scholastic competition, started practice for three ot the most Important games ot the 1934 basketball schedule. Bend and Medford, teams ranking near the top of their own districts, will occupy the Pelicans for two week-ends. The Lava Bears, beaten by Klamath for two years In a row, eome here this Friday and Saturday. Lineup Weakened The following week, Medford, champion of the valley basket ball district, will challenge Klamath here. The Pelicans slipped over a victory at the last meeting on the Klamath floor. Dwlgnt French, coach, was forced to turn to experimental work this week to re-tit a win ning combination broken by ill ness and injury. The team was weakened at the start of the season when Johnny Pastefra failed to report. Pastego broke his wrist in a football game, and has not yet entered competition. Johnson May Start The team French selected to carry the Pelican colors through the first part of the season, at least, was wrecked last week by the absence of Howard Scrog gln, guard. Scroggin, a high scorer despite his defensive posi tion, has been indefinitely re moved from the lineup through illness. Pastega has started practicing but he will not be able to enter the Bend series. Darrell Miller, center; Nello Giovanlnl, guard; Carl Egelholf, forward, and Ed Wakeman, tor- ward, will form the experienced starters in .. the Bend game. Walter Johnson, a reserve, prob ably will start for Scoggin. Johnson started both contests against Yreka last week-end, and played well. Bend, like Klamath, will enter Its most Important series this week. The Bears have played number of practice games, but still have to meet a dangerous rival.
